Songs keep showing up on iPhone

In trying to figure out another issue (playlists not being synced correctly on my iPhone), I attempted to clear the music from my phone completely. I have unchecked the sync music box on iTunes, I have selected the manually manage music option, I have restarted and reset my iPhone, and yet there are songs (approximately 800 or so out of a library of about 1100) showing on my iPhone. To complicate matters, when I threw in the towel and just decided to go ahead and reload everything as it was, iTunes would not sync all of my music because there wasn't enough space. Evidently, it sees the 800+ songs on there and apparently thinks I am trying to add my entire playlist to that - or at least that's my best guess. Thus, the too little space warning. *** is going on with my iPhone/iTunes and can I ever get them to behave normally again? Thanks.

The solution is Simple.
- Goto preferences
- From there select the 'Devices' tab
- Now make click the check box close to 'Prevent iPods,iPhones..... from syncing automatically.
Click OK and your problem will be solved.

Deleted songs keep showing up on iPhone 5c

So I finally did a rehaul of my music on my iphone. I had erased all the music and manually added 270 songs to my phone. Only problem is 65 songs that I did NOT want on my phone keep showing up... and some aren't even on my computer in my itunes! When I plug in my phone to sync and manually delete the songs, they aren't there, yet they still are on my phone. These songs are NOT in my cloud, and cannot be manually deleted on my iphone 5c. I am running on iOS 7.1.1. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Paul_ie86,
Try cleaning up your player. Boot the ZEN X-Fi from the recovery mode (instructions can be found here) and select Clean Up->Reboot. See if that helps.
Btw, welcome to Creative forums!

Deleted songs keep showing up when iPhone shows up in iTunes.

I deleted all my music to get rid of this album that I purchased on my phone. It has been added twice but it keeps showing up everytime I plug it into itunes. It is not on my phone. It just keeps the grayed out circles but never ads it. Any suggestions on how to permanetly delete it?

That's happening to me, too. Apparently, it's a problem with the update. I have been talking with an apple tech supervisor. he is nice, but has no suggestions. i went to the "genus" bar at the apple store. The "genus" there said to live with it, get a new phone, or just wait for a patch--which he admitted may never happen.
I have gone to my email acct. and i delete all the messages in it twice a day. it's a pain, but it keeps all of those messages coming through. have you found a solution?

Purchased songs keep showing up after being unchecked and deleted on iTunes library and iPhone, please help

Like the question says, I have about 6 or 7 songs that I want to permanently delete from my iTunes library and iPhone. They keep showing up even after I've unchecked/deleted them. I've used the manual option and selected the artists, genres, etc. that I still want, but the deleted songs keep appearing. I bought these songs off of the iTunes store I didn't use my iPhone. I don't have the iTunes Match option turned on my phone, nor do I use iCloud. I don't know what else to do besides manually selecting all of my songs and putting them into a folder, deleting the blasphemous songs that I don't want anymore, deleting my iTunes library and resetting my iPhone and copying the songs from the folder back into my iTunes library. But has anyone else had this happen to them? I've had an iPod for years now and I've never had this issue before. I'd really like an easier solution here, so does anyone have any ideas?

I have random songs keep showing up in my purchased folder that I didn't purchase

I was listening to my music on my iPhone the other day when this song I never heard of starting playing. When I looked in my app it showed the iCloud icon. I then chekced my purchases tab anad there are at least 30 songs in the iCloud that I have not purchased nor would want to purchase. I now have at least one of these songs on each of my iPhone and iPad.
Houw do I get these off the iCloud and how do I get these off my devices? And why would these songs be in my iCloud when I did not buy them? This is a little concerning to me.

Does anyone else, family member perhaps, have access to your itunes account? Sounds like someone does. You might consider changing the password to the account.
To change your password go to
http://appleid.apple.com
and click on 'Manage Your Apple ID'. Log in, and click 'Security & Password' in the list at left.

Deleted songs keep downloading when syncing iPhone.

I download the free iTunes songs and listen to them on the way to work. If I don't like them, I delete them after I've synced my phone at home. I've never had a problem until last week. Now the songs keep downloading again when I sync my phone. I know I can choose to not sync them to the phone, and have done that for now. It's driving me crazy not being able to delete them for good though. Any suggestions?

Problem solved on another discussion.
Re: Deleted Song Keeps Reappearing!

I think I found a solution - at least it worked for me for now.
I unchecked the song in iTunes and deleted it off the iPhone and off itunes at the same time, whilst being disconnected. With the next sync, the song did not come back. The spell is broken!
hope it works for you too.

Deleted emails keep showing up on Iphone as new emails

Recently I have been having some trouble with my email on my iPhone. Emails that I have deleted keep showing up in my inbox as new emails. It's random too. Sometimes it's 2 emails and sometimes it's 25. Its getting kind of annoying. I even tried deleting everything in the trash folder. Any suggestions?

That's happening to me, too. Apparently, it's a problem with the update. I have been talking with an apple tech supervisor. he is nice, but has no suggestions. i went to the "genus" bar at the apple store.

Songs dont show up on iPhone but show up on iTunes?

I had 486 songs last night, and when I checked this morning, I had 403 songs on my phone.
All songs still show up on my computer and ITunes, and it even says that my phone has those 83 songs, but I cant make them appear ON my phone.
Can anyone help me?

But Im scared to unsync because some of my songs on itunes have these grey exclamation marks that say file not found, but strangely most of the songs that do have those marks are still there.
And its weird, because they seem to have deleted songs randomly. I have complete albums with just 1 or 2 songs missing or an entire album gone.
I tried restarting 3 times, but nothing happened.
Please, Im desperate.

Deleted apps keep showing up on iPhone again [after unselecting in iTunes]

Hi,
I've bought some apps I decided that I don't want on my iphone, so I deleted them.
After syncing with iTunes, they appeared on the phone again, so I followed advice here and unchecked the individual apps from the Sync Applications screen in iTunes -- which is set to sync Selected Applications.
A few days later, I plug the phone in again and all the unchecked apps show up on my iPhone again. This keeps happening. Is there a way to get rid of these unwanted apps without deleting them from iTunes?

I posted this on another thread and thought I would add it here too...
I have figure out what is causing this issue I believe. I have a macbook pro which I use to sync my iPhone. I also have a Mac Pro that I will occasionally hook my iphone up too so it can charge. I have my phone set NOT to automatically sync for this reason. However when I plug it into either machine the sync comes up for some reason and normally does once for a longer period and then again yet if you look in iTunes it doesn't show that it's synching. I use to always cancel it because I was afraid it would mess up my phone. I one day decided... I wonder if that's what's causing the application issue. so I stopped canceling it and just letting it do it's thing and I didn't have the issue. Well one day I accidentally canceled it because someone sent me a text and I wasn't paying attention... and guess what? I had the issue with all the applications wanting to be put back on the phone!!!

Hidden songs keep showing up despite being hidden

I have hidden tracks that I no longer want to appear in my purchases. The artist no longer shows up in the purchased list, only in the hidden purchases list, and yet a few tracks still show up on my iPhone (but not my iTunes). I have gone into the Music settings on my phone and unselected "Show All Music" - so most of my iTunes purchases don't show, but a few random tracks (both hidden and unhidden) still show. I really don't want these to show on my phone, and have no clue how to get rid of them. Any one have any ideas? Thank you.

The tracks that still show have been downloaded to your phone. I solved this by clearing the music off my iPhone. This will remove the tracks you want and also the tracks you do not want. You will need to manually add those tracks back to your iPhone.
Unfortunately I haven't figured out a way to keep tracks I've hidden off my iPhone and still play the tracks I do want access to. The only other option I know is subscribing to iTunes Match at $24.99 per year in order to delete content I no longer want... and I will not be paying Apple money for that privilege.
Its maddening, undesireable, and iTunes will remain unuseable until hidden purchases are hidden across each idevice.

Why does the same song keep replaying on my iPhone?

My music on my iPhone replays the same song over and over until I tap the forward button, even though i have it set to shuffle songs. What do I need to do to have it automatically advance to the next song? (It only started having this problem about a week ago; before then it worked properly.)

Did you check to make sure the Repeat button wasn't turned on? To do this, while the song is playing tap the screen (cover art) to reveal the additional controls (see image below). Then tap the Repeat button until it turns white (white is off, blue is on).

My iPad 2 is frozen and keeps showing as an iphone in recovery mode in itunes... does anyone know what to do?

When the iPad is put into Recovery Mode it says you MUST Restore as new.

Just restore from Backup once the Restore is complete.

Have you tried signing out of itunes and then signing back in

Downloaded song still shows up under "Not on this iPhone"

Hello,
I have a song that is clearly on my iPhone, but it still shows up under iTunes > More > Purchased > Music > Not on This iPhone
When I tap the song, the iCloud icon appears next to it (I don't know why - the song is on my iPhone), and when I "re-download" it, the iCloud icon turns into PLAY ... but then I go back to reload the list and the iCloud icon reappears next to it again.
I even tried closing all applications and resetting the iPhone.
Does anyone know what's wrong? Why would a purchased song that has been downloaded still show up under Not on This iPhone in iTunes?

UPDATE:
I tried deleting the song to see if I could simply redownload it. I went back to the Not on This iPhone list and the song showed up twice.
It appears to have been a duplicate song error ... The original song that I purchased had a misspelled title - Apple must have updated the title, so iCloud gets confused. It lists both titles, the original song with the misspelled title and also the song with the corrected title. Since it can't have the same purchased song on a device twice, whichever song with a different title just keeps showing up under Not on This iPhone because the different title can't be found in my library.

Iphone 5c keeps showing 'activation required'

New to the iPhone 5c only had it from New a few month but today keeps showing 'searching' in top left corner and constantly coming up with 'activation required' which I've done numerous of times but still not doing anything different, what can I do?

How far is it off?
Always the same amount off?
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
